This Hobby Lobby is one of our go-to stores because it's always clean, organized, and stocked with…read morean incredible variety of products. Whether you're shopping for party supplies, crafts, seasonal décor, furniture, spring flowers, fabrics, or holiday items, there's a huge selection to browse. It's honestly hard to leave without finding something to bring home. The employees at the front are consistently friendly and welcoming. While I don't often see associates throughout the store unless they're stocking shelves, checkout has always been a pleasant experience. They frequently run sales, which is a big plus. My only complaint about the value is that this location's clearance section isn't marked down as much as other Hobby Lobby stores I've visited. There's still a good selection of clearance items, but the prices aren't quite as competitive as I've seen elsewhere. The biggest downside is the restroom. It requires a code to access, and it can be difficult to find an employee when you need one. Unfortunately, the restroom also hasn't been very clean during my visits. Overall, despite a couple of drawbacks, this location offers great service at the front, an excellent selection, and enough deals to keep us coming back.

Turning away and not even saying have a nice day. It's racism against others based on gender equality. That sounds like a deeply frustrating and uncomfortable experience. It is never okay to be treated with hostility or disrespect, especially when I simply trying to complete a purchase. Facing that kind of behavior from a staff member can feel incredibly isolating and demeaning. l believe it is a violation of civil rights or involved discriminatory practices. 05/02/2026 I'm not recommending anyone coming to this Hobby Lobby for shopping.

She quickly narrowed down the best options that met safety standards, which made the process much less overwhelming. What we appreciated most was that AJ truly listened to both of our concerns. She was patient, pleasant, and somehow even provided a little free marriage counseling along the way, helping us compromise on product choices with humor and ease. After we selected our tile, she walked us through all of the finishing details, including edge trim, grout, and a shower niche, so we could make every decision in one visit. We left with all of our choices made and were able to get home in a timely fashion. AJ made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and even enjoyable.

Bob’s Discount Furniture and Mattress Store

My boyfriend and I spent the day furniture shopping, which is always an adventure! We visited a few…read moredifferent furniture stores before stopping at Bob's, and the difference in customer service was night and day. Kyle helped us, and he truly went above and beyond. I honestly felt bad because I had him running back and forth across the store for nearly two hours, and he never once seemed bothered (I was definitely the one who needed a break!). He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to help us find exactly what we were looking for. One of my favorite moments was when he used the shirt he was wearing to help us color-match a rug to the couch we purchased because it was almost the exact same shade. That's the kind of extra effort that really stands out. Overall, we had an amazing experience at Bob's. If you're looking for exceptional customer service, great quality furniture, unbeatable prices, and fast delivery, I can't recommend them enough. We'll definitely be back!

I went into the store six months ago, asked a sales associate to help me find a couch that was not…read moreelectronic because we have no outlet for it. I walked out of the store with an electronic count on order. Once I realized the mistake, I called the store. They had no live person to contact, so I had to drive back to the store to cancel the order. The sales person acted rude to me as if it were my fault, even though he was the one that recommended it to me and failed to mention that it had a charger inside the couch. I then went back and ordered two more pieces of furniture: a couch and a chair. The couch was delivered the following week, and as the movers brough it up the stairs, they damaged the underside. The chair, however was supposed to be here within 4-6 weeks. That was a month ago. The salesperson (who will sporadically respond to my text messages) told me last week that it will be another 7 weeks. I checked in a few days ago and still haven't received a response. And if I call, I can't reach anyone in person. The only person who has actually provided good customer service from this location is the ACIMA team.

This was the worst furniture-buying experience I've ever had. My mother and I purchased more than $6,000 worth of furniture. During the purchase, two employees each asked me for about $65 for their services, and I also gave approximately $1,700 in cash that never appeared on my receipt. There were so many items that I couldn't calculate the total myself, and I was told the cash would later be applied to the credit account I opened through their financing partner. I was also told I couldn't use my Bank of America credit card. Later, I discovered that the cash payment was not listed on my receipt and had not been credited to my financing account. I contacted the store many times, but I was told they could not locate the funds. To make matters worse, they delivered an old, dirty bed to my home. When I complained, I was charged another $100 for a redelivery. The delivery also left a hole in my house. When I called customer service, my experiences varied. Some employees were polite but said they couldn't help. Others hung up on me, and I even had people laugh at me while I was trying to explain what happened. I don't remember the exact date of the purchase because it happened years ago. I initially paid the balance down to around $600, but within a couple of months I ended up paying about $2,000, including more than $1,400 in interest. Looking back, I wish I had been more knowledgeable and better at understanding the paperwork. I feel like my elderly mother and I were taken advantage of. I have a mental impairment, and I worked very hard to earn that money. At the time, I worked as a manicurist and a caretaker. I often dealt with difficult working conditions and harassment, but I still did my best to save for those purchases. I'm sharing my experience because it still affects me today. If anyone has advice or has gone through something similar, I would truly appreciate hearing from you.

I also appreciate that when I purchase anything from The Olive Tree, that I am also helping in some way to help the homeless.
